Guest mcnewsxp Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 i have a small home network connected to a westell modem. everything works fine when you first log in. but after several hours running programs, opening browsers, opening explorer takes a very long time. also mapped drives become disconnected. i am ot using static IP, but i do have a domain server. could this be related to the router somehow? tia, mcnewsxp

Guest Unknown Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 Re: XP slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Could be that you're getting many errors due to noisy or weak signals and to compensate for that your modem is shifting to a lower speed.
